The clearing by the IAAF of Caster Semenya to compete again in athletics events, makes one wonder what was wrong in the first place, and why on earth it took them so long to come to this decision. As a professional athlete she must have lost millions in the ensuing time.
I’ve always had a keen interest in athletics and have run over the years myself, although obviously not at that level. The one thing I can tell, is a star athlete, when I see one running, and the way she decimated the field last year, and continually improved her times were indicative of an athlete who will not only dominate her sport, but break world records. One has to simply hope that the one year out, together with all the emotional trauma has not ruined her and that she will be able to go out on the track, and once again crush her opposition.

i think what has gone here is a disgrace,if they knew that her sexuality was going to be an issue in the outside world,they should have done something about it before they allowed her /him to run overseas,and is the matter over as far as the outside world is concerned or is it going to be a case of when she beats the opponenents again by such a big margin.they are going to pull her apart again
